Ingrid Wiener
Marta Herford Museum, Germany
11 November 2025 – 22 February 2026
Marta Herford is a contemporary art museum founded in 2005. Located in a city that was a center for textile and furniture production into the early 20th century, the museum places a special focus on the relation between art and design. The survey exhibition Mental Map Weavings will present an overview of Ingrid Wiener's oeuvre from older works to more recent tapestries and drawings. Her language-based works and correspondence with other artists such as VALIE EXPORT and Dieter Roth will reveal the importance of text and drawing to her practice. A number of hidden treasures will be presented for the first time, offering a reappraisal of Wiener’s overall practice.
Ingrid Wiener (born 1942 in Vienna, Austria) is an artist and chef. She was involved in actions and performances of the Wiener Gruppe, and has created tapestries depicting objects from her everyday life, such as kitchen utensils, in a flowing weaving technique. Alongside her watercolours, in which she captures her dreams, thoughts and nocturnal stories, Wiener also works with drawing, film and text. She had solo and group exhibitions at Weiss Falk, Basel; Kunsthalle Bremerhaven; Museum Hartberg; Barbara Wien, Berlin; Helga Maria Klosterfelde, Berlin; Jagla-Ausstellungsraum, Köln; Halle für Kunst Steiermark, Graz; Wien Lukatsch, Berlin; Sammlung Haubrok and Paris Bar, Berlin; Kunsthaus Mürz, Mürzzuschlag; Charim Galerie, Wien and the Neue Galerie Graz (2006), among others.
This is her first collaboration with Phileas.
